A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a broad, confident stance. Serifs are wedge-like and often softly bracketed, with tapered entry and exit strokes that give many letters a calligraphic finish. Curves are full and dynamic, counters are relatively open, and terminals frequently end in subtle hooks or teardrop-like shapes, creating a lively rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase. Figures follow the same contrasty, angled logic, with rounded forms and energetic tails on several numerals.
Well suited to headlines, editorial titling, and book or magazine covers where an emphatic italic serif can carry a refined voice. It can also work for branding, invitations, and pull quotes when you want a traditional foundation with visible flair. For longer passages, it performs best when given comfortable size and spacing so the contrast and terminals stay clear.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a sense of ceremony and polish. Its energetic italic movement and sculpted terminals add personality, suggesting a traditional voice that still feels expressive and present rather than purely restrained.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation infused with energetic italic calligraphy—combining strong contrast, tapered details, and expressive terminals to create an attention-holding text and display companion.
Uppercase forms read stately and slightly condensed by the slant, while the lowercase shows more flourish—especially in letters like g, y, z, and w—where curved strokes and terminals become more decorative. In running text, the strong contrast and brisk angle create a pronounced texture that draws attention and favors display-like sizes over very small settings.
